Cook's Tips: The Serrated Peeler makes quick work of peeling mangoes.

To choose a ripe mango, gently squeeze the mango. It should yield slightly to pressure and smell fragrant. Place under-ripe fruit in a paper bag at room temperature for a day or two.

If you are unable to find piña colada yogurt, substitute with pineapple or key lime blended yogurt.
